Bobsled & Luge

The AMS software is used for start optimization in the field of bobsled and luge.

Olympic Center Chemnitz / Dortmund / Munich

German Olympic centers are trusting AMS software for their training efforts to optimize starts with luge and bob racing.For a number of years the Chemnitz/Oberwiesenthal Olympic center is using AMS data acquisition and analysis software systems. The success is not only reinforced by Sylke Otto's gold medals at the Olympic games and the world championchips.

The bobs have an integrated data acquisition system. Data is radio transmitted to the analysis unit (Notebook with BEAM).

In both cases data combined with the video feed is subsequently analysed with AMS analysis software jBEAM. The recorded motion can now be corellated with the energy surge.

The possibility to compare different starts and runs in real-time is highly appreciated by Olympic champions. The different test runs can be compared graphically and interactive cursors help tracking important data for further analysis.
